About the event
Edith Swanneck’s tragic search for the body of her lover, King Harold, on the battlefield at Hastings is an iconic moment in the story of the Norman Conquest. But who was Edith and what was the real nature of her relationship with Harold? This talk strips away Medieval myths and Victorian fantasies to explore what we really know about the remarkable women in King Harold’s life.
